I also didn't pull in this patch. The reason is that the
for_ftrace_rec_iter() is specific for external usage (for archs to use) and
requires two function calls to do the iterations.

The do_for_each_ftrace_rec() is a faster, light weight version, but for
internal use only.

I rather keep both, as each has their own, but slightly different, use
cases.
